MINDFULNESS AND UVB IN THE TREATMENT OF MODERATE PSORIASIS 24 Quantitative summary. There were none of the variables (FFMQ-SF, PSS, DLQI, PASI) that were significant different at baseline or follow-up between the intervention and control group. PSS and DLQI had a significant difference between baseline and follow-up for both intervention and control and the statistical data support that the effect is due to light therapy. The mindfulness measures had satisfactory inter-item reliability. Qualitative data The informants were given a pseudonym (Anne, Sara, Frank, Kaja, and Ellen) to protect their identity. Commentary from patients were given single letters (N,Z,K, and S) to protect their gender as well as identity. Several gave rich stories of their illness and their life in general. They often compared themselves to others with psoriasis who had it worse. The chronic aspect was accepted and referred to words like “chronic” or saying, “live with it.” Anne, Ellen, and Kaja said in their statements of having guttate (small spots of psoriasis) psoriasis and shared their troubles using medical creams like cortisone. The small areas of spots are hard to find after treatment and this may increase the risk of treating healthy skin. The analysis resulted in the final categories: Distress, Life quality, light therapy and Mindfulness, with respective subcategories. The subcategories for Distress were Life events, Aggravating, and Coping. Subcategories for Life quality were Social environment, Discomfort, Area of Disease. Subcategories for Light therapy were adherence, Outcome. Mindfulness subcategories were well-being, Motivation and issues. See table 5.
